The lower the number the more severe it is.
Short Description
Bad free in function PQclear
Long Description
I use the libc library with the version 7.0.2-17.
I send a query with bad function.
The server answer me an error with text : ERROR: Function 'octet_length(unknown)' does not exist
Unable to identify a function that satisfies the given argument types
You may need to add explicit typecasts.
Then, i call PQclear to free result context, the core is dump with memory fault.

Are you sure this isn't your own bug --- like calling PQclear twice on
the same PGresult in your error-recovery code path?
